Description:
Erin is a modern set of plugins designed exclusively for mastering.
It includes 5 studio processors sampled from world class mastering equipment,
which was manufactured by one of the most prestigious pro-audio designers in the world.
A truly luxurious mastering kit
Erin includes 5 different plugins: 5-band stereo tube EQ, tube stereo compressor/limiter, tube midrange EQ, brickwall mono “hyper” compressor/limiter, and “hyper” stereo tube compressor/limiter.
Erin Stereo Tube Equalizer
Erin EQ ST is an accurate emulation of the esoteric 5-band stereo parametric equalizer that is primarily used in mastering centers. Its prohibitive cost makes it difficult to purchase your own, but it is one of the most revered equalizers on the market for shaping tracks of any genre.
We’ve sourced a flawless example of this exclusive unit and carefully tested it to bring you the same creative power that was previously only available in the most high-end mastering rooms.
Each of the two equalizer channels has 5 bands, high and low pass filters with gain and fixed quality controls. The plugin also features 3 up/down filters with adjustable center frequency. Any of the bands or preamp can be bypassed at any time using special control buttons.
The Erin EQ ST features our new Ultragain matching technology, providing extremely accurate gain mapping across all bands. It provides even the most demanding mastering engineers with ideal resolution, consistency and response, while maintaining the original sonic character of this sought-after equipment.
Erin Midrange EQ
As the name suggests, the Erin EQ Mid is designed to target mid-range audio, focusing on frequencies between 200Hz and 5kHz. It is a faithful emulation of the extremely intuitive tube design made in the UK and is reminiscent of Pultec style tube designs.
It has a limited number of selectable frequencies, which are located closer together compared to other equalizer models. This gives you even more precise control over this important part of the spectrum.
Finally, a colorful preamp stage and dedicated mid/side and left/right controls make this processor versatile and easily adaptable to specialized use. It works wonders on sources that live in the midrange of the mix, such as violins, guitars and vocals.
Compressor Erin
The Erin Comp is a stereo tube compressor/limiter based on an esoteric British-made mono unit that was designed to limit or compress a signal with minimal interference below threshold. Our version of the plugin is intuitive to operate and has standard attack and release times.
Highly optimized attack/release knee behavior and euphonically transparent dynamic action make this compressor a top choice for mixers, masterers and demanding artists with studio experience. It’s no coincidence that legendary Pink Floyd frontman and guitarist David Gilmour installed two of these processors in his Astoria recording studio.
